Fix is coming for Apple’s FaceTime bug | Business – Lewiston Morning Tribune

NEW YORK — Apple says it has fixed the FaceTime bug that allowed people to eavesdrop while using its group video chat feature. It plans to turn the service back on this week via a software update.

The bug allowed some people to turn an iPhone into a live microphone while using Group FaceTime. Apple apologized Friday for the problem and says it’s working on becoming better at responding to reports of glitches from customers.

A boy and his mother in Tucson, Ariz., reported the bug. Apple thanked the boy and his family in a prepared statement. — AP
